Early in the 1950’s a group of local Green Bay business men met to form Valley Telecasting Company. Upon approval from the Federal Communications Commission,WNAM-TV went on the air April 25,1955 from Neenah with test patterns. Shortly there after the call letters were changed to WFRV which stands for Fox River Valley,and the license was moved to Green Bay. With 100,000 watts of power,Channel 5 began broadcast programming at 6:45pm on June 1,as an ABC and Dumont Network affiliate. That evening began with a special dedication program followed by a full night of network shows. Television viewers from as far south as Beaver Dam,north to Marquette Michigan,and from as far west at Wisconsin Rapids to Port Washington on the western shore of Lake Michigan could pick up Channel 5. Overnight WFRV-TV5 became an integral part of the community.
